March Update
Does updating the theme of the site count as an update? No? Okay...time to type.
Life is busy right now, and extra things are gonna have to give. I have not had a chance to do much photography (both making and processing them), so I am putting the daily site on hold, again. For the sharp eye among you, you would have noticed this last week.
On the upside, I have lost about 20 pounds since the beginning of the year. While I am not where I want to be weight-wise, I have lost a pants size which puts me back were I was about 10 years ago. Life is good.
FreeBSD Challenge II, End Report
And, again, I hit something which is causing massive disk performance issues. That, and suspend/resume does not work on either laptop.
I would try to debug the issues, but that means learning a whole new set of tools, and I will not have time for a while. Next week, I am in week long meetings which will run late every day, and then I have to finish writing and present a training class the last week of the month. The hour or two I can spare will be far better spent for me by backup, re-installing ArchLinux than by starting to learn the tools. Yes, a bit of a cop-out, but I need the machines to do what I need to do. I will keep the servers FreeBSD, however, as it works great there.
FreeBSD Challenge II, Day 30 Update
As the month draws to a close, I am further into the switch. I have rebuilt my main laptop to PCBSD. I am still setting a few things up, but it seems to be going well.
Two things I need to fix:
- Skype: While there is not a native client, there are lots of folks who report success with the Linux client. I will need to do some research.
- Nikola: The software I use for my blogs. It throws a python error when I run it, so I cannot update things. Again, I think I just need to do some more research.
Now, the fun of the weekend is here, so I am off!
